Butter Spritz Cookies are a classic cookie that are so easy to make. Christmas cookies are always the best! I recently received my great-grandmother's cookie press. I love it. I love that it was my great-grandma's and that I can use it with my kids. We had fun using all the different plates to make different shapes. They loved the butterfly and scotty dog. If you don't have a cookie press, get one! They aren't expensive like this Cookie Press on Amazon. They are so much easier than cut … [Read more...]
Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars
Who remembers their favorite dessert from school lunch? Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars were my favorite. Practically perfect in every way. I actually liked school lunch. Back in the day when you got full and didn't come home starving. Like today. I look at my daughter and son's lunch menu and think, "Really? You are supposed to get through your day of school and recess on that?" I get kids need to be healthier and all that, but why can't they be full, too? Now my son's youngest's … [Read more...]

Cookies N’ Fruit Pudding Salad
A great recipe for any gathering is this Cookies N' Fruit Pudding Salad. It always goes fast! Remember this fruit dip? Well this salad reminds me of it. Only I used vanilla pudding in the salad, instead of White Chocolate pudding. And this salad has cookies in it. So they are not totally alike, but they are both totally amazing and totally addicting.

{Eggless} Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
This Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is the perfect recipe for when you want to nibble that dough but don't want to eat raw eggs. It's perfectly safe to eat. I have been working the potato harvest this past week. I drive a big truck alongside the harvester and then go unload it at the potato cellar. We start at 7 am and finish (so far) at 10 pm. Thankfully I have an awesome husband who goes at 7 and then I go around 8:30 in the morning which buys me time to get the house in order and … [Read more...]
Pineapple Cookies
I've posted these cookies before, but I am in the process of re-photographing my earlier posts. I have come a long ways in my food picture taking and so I want to take pics of the earlier recipes and re-post them. I could just replace the pics in those older posts, but I like to see how I have changed and grown in that way, so I'm leaving them, and re-posting the new pics. Today I have my Grandma Cuckoo's Pineapple Cookies. They are one of my favorite cookies. Ever.You must try them. … [Read more...]
Snickerdoodles
I have the perfect recipe for Snickerdoodles. You're gonna love me for it. Maybe you already use this recipe or one similar. The trick is to not over bake them. Otherwise they will be crunch, instead of chewy. And you must use the cream of tartar. It just makes them better. I always get requests to make these when we get together with Lance's family. My sil Melanie especially. So I dedicate this post to you, Melanie! Snickerdoodles Print Cook time 8 … [Read more...]

Just like today (May 12th) and I were meant for each other. Yep. It's my birthday. I just want to chant, "Go Mandy! It's your … [Read more...]
Oatmeal Creme Pies
Ever since these were linked up on Totally Tasty Tuesdays a few weeks ago, I knew I had to make them. I love the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies. They are the only Little Debbie treat that I like. Something about their chocolate is too waxy to me. But I could eat these cookies all day long.I made a few adjustments and they are pretty good.Not the same as Little Debbie's, but they would do when I get the craving and I don't have any in my pantry.Printable VersionCookies:1 c. … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are great for after school. Or breakfast in my opinion! They have peanut butter chips all throughout the oatmeal cookies! Who doesn't love dessert for breakfast? Anyone? Donuts are a legit breakfast in my book. As are pastries. Maybe even chocolate cake. Bill Cosby says so. Chocolate cake has milk and eggs in it. That totally counts. These cookies could count, too. There's peanut butter and oats and nuts. See? And since … [Read more...]
